Obviously I take offense at this.
I take offense at the OMG-level bigotry expressed by the shaliach, and at the fact that he is a head shaliach -- 2.2% of American Jews are black, doing the math this is, in theory, 132,000 American Jews any given year that he would flatly dismiss as being unfit to marry his daughter.
Beautiful.
Unless one of those 132,000 is her bashert, in which case she will die lonely and unmarried, for want of an open minded father who could see past his own resemblance to the Eastern European goy who raped his maternal ancestor to give him his oh-so-European/oh-so-superior features.
Disgusting.
Likewise disgusting is your tone of voice in the article as if this "otherness" is a sine qua non which defines edut ha'Toranit -- you know that this is one of my biggest avodos to combat this and to hear it said "as if this is metzi'os" pisses me off b/c it de-legitimizes the efficacy of everything I'm doing.
and btw, the sefira album is selling like Rebbe pictures in Crown Heights!
